You configure the Work Data eForm widget to identify the FileNet® P8 eForms template that is the widget is to use.

Before you begin

You must ensure that the form template that is to be used with the Work Data eForm is designed to display correctly in the widget. As you design the form template, be aware that IBM® ECM Widgets does not support all of the features provided by FileNet P8 eForms.

About this task

You can configure the Work Data eForm widget if you own the page that the widget is on or have permission to edit the page.

Restriction: You cannot add the Work Data eForm widget on a page that contains the Work Data widget. In addition, you can have one instance of the Work Data eForm widget on a page.

To configure the Work Data eForm widget:

Procedure

Obtain the URL for the form template that is to be used to render the content of an eForm in the widget:

Log in to Workplace XT.

Navigate to the form template that is to be used to render the eForm content in the Work Data eForm widget.

Right-click the form template and click More Actions -> -> Show Hyperlink.

In the Show Hyperlink dialog box, select the appropriate template version. The URL for the template version is displayed. You can select a specific version of the form template, or use the current version or release version. If you select the current version or release version, the actual version of the form template is resolved at run time. When you are building a solution, consider selecting the current version or release version so that the widget automatically uses the new version. By using this approach, you do not need to update the widget configuration each time the form template revised.

Copy the displayed URL.

In your mashup environment, change to edit mode and then click Edit Settings on the widget menu.

Set and save the configuration option:
